But when I CC'd the message to myself it came through looking fine,
only when it was received from the list did it get all chopped up..

Yet if I don't put any new lines in myself, it comes back all nicely  
formatted to around 80 chars!

I noticed in the headers of my sent mail it has:
text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

I don't know what those last two options do or mean, but the
mail from the bugs server doesn't have them, so they are
being removed by it..?
